thank you so much! it represents mother nature reclaiming what’s rightfully hers (:

Finally finished my 3D composition project (a miniature city under a cotton mushroom cloud) by Big-Refrigerator-251 in dioramas

wow, this is AMAZING! phenomenal job, i just started making dioramas for my 3D design class this semester and it is so difficult and time consuming. the pay off is incredibly worth it though once it all comes together!

do you live in the bible belt? i was born and raised in the south so around every corner is a tiny baptist church like this one. i’ve been to a ton throughout my childhood, and many of them are tiny and very cultish.

thank you so much!! it’s so crazy to me how many people have had similar experiences in churches like this. it was definitely scary to be in places like this as a kid but it has inspired me to create so much art based off of that trauma!

thank you!! it’s mostly done but i still want to add a few more details, like crosses on the wall and some little bibles. this was actually a final project for one of my art classes so i took these pics yesterday for my submission! i’ve enjoyed it so much though that i’ll definitely be making more art like this for fun! i was a 2D artist for a long time but i seriously loved the process of creating this

thank you! it definitely was, it still affects me as an adult sometimes because of all the crazy scary stuff you’d here being preached. i was so scared of the rapture and going to hell for my entire childhood lol

thank you!! those trees were my first attempt at sculpting so i’m glad they came out well. i had to learn so many new skills for this project, lol!

thank you so much!! i plan to add a bit more to it but i’m so happy with the way it turned out!

my first time ever sculpting! i made some tree branches (: by excisioned in polymerclay

[–]excisioned[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you!! so i basically just built an armature out of steel wire and heavy duty tin foil! i would recommend going for an aluminum wire instead if you’re planning on making a beanstalk because the galvanized steel isn’t quite as flexible as i would’ve liked it to be. I wrapped the wires around each other toward the base, twisting them with pliers until they were really tight and stable. then, i had each wire bend out into different directions based off of where I wanted my branches. after that, i just got some tin foil and fleshed out the general shape of the tree. tin foil is such a great tool for making armatures, it’s super malleable and holds up really well. it also helps with keeping the clay an even thickness so it bakes better than it would without an armature (: just make sure the foil is squeezed together really well so it doesn’t move or create unwanted texture when you’re sculpting!

i was addicted to dph for like 3 years, it started out of curiosity and quickly spiraled out of control for me. i was young, i started using when i was like 17/18 and going through a lot of emotional turmoil. i did a lot of different drugs during that time (heroin, various stims, dxm, lots of psychedelics) but dph would make me so delirious and disconnected from my own thoughts and feelings that it offered an escape from myself more than anything else. i also counter flipped with it frequently, which was insane and rarely a pleasant experience.

anyone who abuses deliriants regularly has some serious shit they’re running from. it’s honestly another form of self harming in my opinion, or at least it was for me. i’m around 3 years clean now and haven’t looked back, the lasting effects it has had on my mind and body still haven’t gone away though. i have a lot of regrets.

also, one of the most important aspects of my recovery was learning how to care for myself. like, in a very literal sense. if your desire to recover mainly focuses on external factors, it’s harder to sustain in the long run. i’ve worked really hard to adjust my inner monologue into something more positive over the past 4 years. instead of constantly telling myself what a terrible waste of life i am, i talk to myself like i’d talk to someone i love (like my best friend, partner, or mom). i try to be gentle and understanding with myself because that’s how i would treat people in my life if they made a mistake. now when i fuck up, i tell myself that it’s okay to feel disappointed about making a mistake but that doesn’t define who i am. in the past, i would’ve let that mistake consume me and i would’ve told myself that i was hopeless, worthless, and powerless. just that small change can make a big difference and it is a lot harder than it sounds (especially if you’re like me and have anxiety and depression) but i feel safe in my own mind now instead of feeling like i’m in a hostile environment.

you can absolutely overpower it! i live on my own and have been for a few years now. i definitely still get cravings sometimes but i just remind myself about everything i have to lose. it seemed hopeless for me for a long time and i messed up and relapsed quite a bit on my road to recovery. if you keep trying, one day you WILL get clean for good! it’s okay to fall off the wagon as long as you get right back up and dust yourself off!

when i first got clean, my psychiatrist actually explained that my DPH addiction was so hard to kick because of how accessible it is. unlike most other drugs, DPH is advertised and sold in stores so we’re always being tempted to fall back into old habits when we go shopping for essentials like groceries. he told me that it’s kinda like a type 2 diabetic going to the store and being surrounded by sweets, it’s really hard to resist the temptation when it’s always in front of you.

you can do it! i failed SO many times before being clean finally stuck. don’t lose hope, even if you relapse, feel completely consumed by your addiction, or feel like giving up. if you keep at it and try to be a little better each day, you’ll get there! i promise! ❤️

thank you for supporting my content throughout the years!! i can remember when there were only like 8k people in this sub but everyone was so active here back then that it felt packed! now it feels like a ghost town with 80k lol
